my employer is accusing me of taking some money, > $100,000, i know that i didnt do it, but cant prove it nor can i prove that some one else did it, but the investigating officer has all the proof pointing to me. i dont know if i should just say i did it because i could get a lighter sentence or fight because i didnt take the money but it was placed in my account on a call that i had won the lottery, and the money showed up so i thought it was mine, i spent it.

There is almost no way of answering that question without a much more thorough consultation. Realistically, even with a more thorough consultation most attorney's would want to see some discovery before they advise you. In the Commonwealth you don't have to prove your innocence. Your story seems very thin. That being said who's to say they can truly tie the actual action to you. Paper cases can have nuance to them which makes them difficult. Rather than searching for answers on the internet you need to sit down with an attorney and spend some actual time with them. In excess of 100k theft you could be looking at substantial jail time.
